Description

This PR adds my StickHero game project to the Game Development section of the Project-Based-Learning repository.

StickHero is a simple and fun Java/JavaFX arcade-style game where the player grows a stick to cross from one platform to another. The project includes well-structured code using design patterns (Singleton, Flyweight), clean UI, sound effects, gameplay animations, and a full README with screenshots and a demo video.

Motivation and Context

This addition expands the Game Development section with a complete beginner-friendly Java game project that others can clone, learn from, and build upon.
It demonstrates JavaFX UI design, animations, event handling, and object-oriented patterns.
It also includes a demo video, screenshots, and step-by-step instructions.

How Has This Been Tested?

  • The project builds and runs successfully using JavaFX.
  • Tested gameplay interactions, platform generation, stick placement, and sound effects on Windows.
  • All resources (images, sounds, controller logic) load correctly.

Types of changes

  • New Article (change which adds functionality)

Checklist:

  • I have updated the documentation accordingly.
  • I have read the CONTRIBUTING document.
  • I have ensured my URL is working and publicly accessible.
  • The added entry follows the list formatting conventions.

Thanks for the submission!

I reviewed the StickHero project itself. While it’s a well-built Java/JavaFX game, the linked repo appears to be a completed project, not a tutorial or guided learning resource.

This repo is meant to curate project-based tutorials that walk learners through building something step by step. As submitted, there isn’t instructional content, a walkthrough, or learning-focused guidance explaining how to build the game from scratch.

If there’s a tutorial, write-up, or structured guide that teaches the implementation (JavaFX setup, game loop, animations, etc.), feel free to link or add that. Otherwise, this doesn’t seem to fit the scope of the list.
